They're highly reactive with water and release rich, creamy colors. Ideal for sketching, developing color values, and building expressive marks, Daniel Smith Watercolor Sticks combine the best of drawing with painting. They're ideal for mixed media.

Sap Green - This modern Sap Green has a non-fugitive formulation which creates deep forest shadow-greens when mixed with French Ultramarine, and mossy golden-greens with green-browns when mixed with Burnt Sienna, Quinacridone Sienna, or Burnt Orange. Sap Green mixes well with most pigments and leaves a stained residue when lifted. In the French Ultramarine or Quinacridone mixtures mentioned above, squeegee or knife in areas to reveal the Sap Green stain and to create blades of spring-shiny grasses within deeper or mossy passages.

This is a granulating color, meaning a grainy visual texture is created when the pigment particles settle and clump together rather than settling evenly on the painted surface.
